I have added a link to these instructions on the page http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_on_a_Stick/Downloads, which is transcluded on the page http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_on_a_Stick/ so that it will be easy to find in future. I also added a note about what computers SoaS runs on, including Intel Macs. > And using the terminal is not exactly a friendly > introduction to the platform But see Introduction to the Command Line (which I helped to write) at http://en.flossmanuals.net/command-line/ It is, as far as I know, the first and only shell command line manual for end users who do not plan to become sysadmins, and by far the friendliest. We had a non-programmer editor make sure that we never assumed too much, and that we kept to the proper tone and language. I assembled a glossary of the unavoidable jargon. > :S > > Cheers, > Sridhar -- Edward Mokurai (默雷/धर्ममेघशब्दगर्ज/دھرممیگھشبدگر ج) Cherlin Silent Thunder is my name, and Children are my nation.
